Finasteride is used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), such as frequent and difficult urination. Besides this, it is also used to treat male pattern hair loss.
Finasteride contains Finasteride, which works by blocking the action of male hormones that cause prostate enlargement and hair loss. Thereby, it helps treat BPH and male pattern hair loss.
In some cases, Finasteride may cause low sexual desire, impotence (erectile dysfunction), abnormal ejaculation, or trouble having an orgasm. Most of these side effects of Finasteride may not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Do not take Finasteride if you are allergic to any of its components. Finasteride is not intended for use in women and children. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.

It also may decrease the need for prostate surgery. Additionally, it is also used to treat male pattern hair loss. Finasteride works by blocking the action of male hormones that cause the prostate to enlarge and hair loss.

The UK patent forPropecia, a hair loss treatment for men, expired on the 11th Oct 2014. A few days later ‘generic Propecia’ or more accurately ‘generic finasteride’ became available from UK pharmacies. A generic medicine is a medicine which is the same as a branded original, but is prescribed and supplied by its medical name, rather than its brand name.
Propecia is a brand name. The active ingredient of Propecia tablets isfinasteride 1mg. Propecia tablets and finasteride 1mg tablets are medically the same.
Dr Fox supplies both from the drug companyMerck(MSD), which held the original patent, and lower cost, which other drug companies have made available since Merck’s UK patent expired.
When a medicine comes off patent price can fall dramatically. Men, who previously paid very high prices for Propecia, may be able to buy medically identical finasteride 1mg at lower prices.
When a medicine is under patent it can only be sold legally by the patent holder. This means the patent holder, which is normally the drug company which paid to develop the medicine in the first place, is free to market the medicine without competition from other pharmaceutical companies. The result is usually very high prices. When a patent expires other drug companies usually start to produce the same medicine, known as a generic copy, and start to compete on price. As a result the cost to patients tends to fall.
The cost to patients of a medicine depends on various factors; how much it costs to produce, how much demand there is, how many drug companies supply the same medicine, and how flexible the market is. Even when the wholesale supply price of a medicine falls, the price patients pay does not always fall by the same amount. Retail pharmacies may try not to pass on reduced supply costs to patients, and instead use falling wholesale prices to boost profits. If there is price competition between retailers, as there tends to be between online pharmacies and online clinics, price to patients usually fall in line with falls in wholesale supply costs, but not always.
Dr Fox is one of the lowest cost suppliers of most medicines for both branded and generic medicines.
At the moment (10 Dec 2014) only three pharmaceutical companies, apart from Merck, are supplying finasteride 1mg tablets. These companies areTrent,Actavis, andMylanAt the time of writing, all are offering their generic equivalent of Propecia at the same price; about 10% less than branded Propecia. Prices will hopefully tumble further in the days and weeks to come (as happened when last year).UPDATE JANUARY 2022Generic finasteride is now less than 30% of the price of Propecia from Dr Fox.
The original patent holder, Merck (MSD) may reduce the price of Propecia, or start to market its own generic finasteride 1mg alongside branded Propecia.
Not all men who previously took Propecia will switch to generic finasteride 1mg, even if the price of Propecia remains high and generic finasteride is a lot cheaper. If a patient is happy with a particular brand of tablet, they often will not switch to a lower cost equivalent, even if they are reliably advised that one tablet is medically the same as the other. Whether or not they switch depends on how much they wish to economise, and all the other factors which keep people buying certain products at high prices when they do not have to.
Finasteride 1mg tablets are taken daily to reduce hair loss in men, and can help with men younger who have thinning or balding problems.

When a patient is diagnosed with an estrogen receptor antagonist, such as finasteride, an estrogen agonist, or an estrogen modulator, they may be prescribed the medication in the form of a topical solution or gel to minimize systemic side effects. Because of its versatility, the topical estrogen formulations have been widely used, especially for treating male pattern baldness and also for benign prostatic hyperplasia. This article aims to provide a detailed discussion on the topical estrogen formulations.
Estrogen is a natural substance produced by the adrenal glands. As a female hormone, estrogen is produced by the testes, the brain, and the ovaries. It is produced by the pituitary gland and secreted into the urine by the urine bladder. Estrogens are also produced in the adrenal glands and the adrenal glands secreted by the ovaries. When a patient has an estrogen receptor antagonist, such as finasteride, an estrogen agonist, or an estrogen modulator, they will need to use estrogen as directed and adjust the dosage as needed.
There are a variety of estrogen formulations available. Different estrogen preparations contain varying amounts of the active ingredients in the formulation. In some formulations, the active ingredients are different, such as propylene glycol or sodium propylmethylsuccinate. Others contain varying amounts of the active ingredients. The most common type of estrogen is the combination of estrogen with testosterone. The combination should not be used to treat male pattern baldness unless the estrogen formulation contains testosterone or estrogen is used. The combination of estrogen with testosterone is used to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
There are several types of estrogen preparations available, including topical estrogen, an ointment, or an estrogen cream. The most common types of estrogen are topical estrogen, an ointment, or an estrogen cream.
Injectable estrogen
Injection
Oral estrogen
There are several estrogen preparations available that contain varying amounts of the active ingredients in the formulation.
Injectable estrogen, such as the topical cream, oral estrogen, or an ointment, may be used in addition to topical estrogen. Oral estrogen may be used in combination with an estrogen cream or oral estrogen. Oral estrogen contains the same amount of estrogen as topical estrogen and may be used in combination with a topical estrogen cream or ointment to decrease the risk of prostate cancer. When an oral estrogen is used, the amount of estrogen the patient should be using will be the same as the amount of estrogen used for topical estrogen.
Oral estrogen may be applied directly to the skin of the face, or applied to the skin of the scalp. It is not recommended to apply it directly to the skin of the face, but it is possible that the skin of the scalp is not fully absorbed.
The following topical estrogen products are available in the form of ointments:
Oral estrogen cream
Topical estrogen gel
Topical estrogen cream
There are several types of oral estrogen preparations available in the form of ointments, but only topical estrogen is approved for the treatment of male pattern baldness. Topical estrogen is a combination of estrogen and a topical gel containing the same active ingredients.
Topical estrogen is a mixture of two active ingredients that contain the same active ingredients.
